Beta Cookie Scanning on website (internal on Hubspot and external)

Marketing & Content Hub GDPR

Hi everyone,

I want to share my experience with Cookie scanning (beta) and Cookie Banner, maybe someone could help me.

Actually we have a cookie banner on my agency website and 2 subdomain, all with HubSpot cookie banner. We use Google Tag Manager for tags (GA4, GAU, FB pixel exc..). The Google Tag Manager script is implemented by code before </head>.

We tried the beta cookie scanning but we had some problems (it doesn’t work properly).

We called the assistance and it said to us that cookie _gcl_aue (linker conversion on tag manager) caused the problem.

Anybody tried the cookie banned with scanning? What’s your experience?

Hi @TitiCuisset, @Marcolì,

I’ve never used that cookie scanning feature before but I think this information present on the cookie banner documentation is quite relevant :

Have you tried adding GTM using the native integration instead of adding it manually to the page template ?

Also, if third-party scripts are triggered from GTM on your site, HubSpot’s cookie banner won’t block them.

Maybe the restrictions applying to cookie blocking apply to cookie scanning as well ?

Hope this helps,

Ludwig

Hi, thanks for fast answer!

I tried the integration with GTM and HubSpot web pages and it worked!

The only cookie banner doesn’t work is on website outside HubSpot. I put the script for block the cookies but nothing happens:

Hey guys,
I havent found an option to enable/use the cookie scanner feature on hubspot websites? Do you have a clue?

If you still have not found it yet, I found the Beta opt in here: Product Updates

In my testing with the new beta, Cookie blocking seems to be working for all cookies - including GA and GTM -- on my external domains. After placing the blocking code in global header, no cookies -- no Hub, no ga, no fb, etc -- are being placed until consent is given. We are putting the HubSpot blocking code in Wordpress header and placing all other tags through GTM. Would love to hear more feedback on this.

Hi @Marcolì - I have been trying to run the scan but it keeps failing. We were using CookieYes (added via GTM) for our cookie banner consent and so I have been disabling that and pausing the GTM and then trying to run the scan but each time it says that it has detected another Cookie banner on the site so can’t really see what the way around that is!
